She didn't throw up then, but she did when she went to use a public bathroom for the first time.

Totally understand that one.

The really bad bathrooms are found on sleeper trains. When you first start out you just have a hole in the floor as a toilet, surrounded by some metal to stand on but they often put carpet in the rest of the bathroom. So you can just imagine what it's like after several hours and with the way trains can pull from one side to the next when traveling. Best to schedule a fast when using this form of transportation.

I always thought it would be cool to take a trip on a sleeper train. I might have to rethink that one now after your post. haha

In Matthew chapter 29 verse 8 we find the following:

8 And the Lord appeared, and said: 'Verily I say unto you, that thou shalt not eat of the flesh of dogs, for such are given as companions of man.'

It's a religious thing for me not to eat dogs.

*Sings 'That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!'*

Oh man you got me on that one. I went to look that up in the scriptures and there is no Chapter 29. But I think that scripture should be in there.

Isn't there something in the Levitical and Mosaic laws about not eating dog? Should this go in the Pork thread?

Edit: Okay I looked up the scriptures for real. Nothing about not eating dog. But none of the dog verses in the TG are too favorable towards dogs. But just those refrences would really make me turn up my nose at dog meat.

Lewis and Clark hated the taste of salmon so they traded with Indian tribes for dog meat. In fact, it seems dogs were an important part of their diet while they were in the Pacific Northwest.

Yea. The Native Americans also ate dog as well.

Ironically this discussion reminds me of something that happened with my parents. My parents were moving to Las Vegas from Hathorne, NV. They had their dog with them and decided to give him away to a home. One day this Oriential woman answered my mom's advert and said in a heavily accented voice.

"You have dog?"

My mom cringed knowing that many Asians eat dog, plus the tone she got from the woman's voice didn't inspire any confidence in her and she said quickly, "He's already been given to a home."

In the end, he ended up being taken with them to Vegas.

I think I would draw the line at gerbils. There is just not enough meat.
